This is my leaf blower painting! I am trying all kinds of new techniques lately with my paintings. This one turned out amazing! The photo doesn't do it justice, it has gold flecks in spots and it shines at different angles. I used house paint for the base, a thick coat, then I spray-painted on top of that and got out the leaf blower! As I blew the paint around if formed little continents and clouds. The best part is that after it dried it looked just like a view of earth from space.... and ... can you see the hand of God in the parting clouds? It was like a hand print!
I don't think I can add anything to this, it is perfect just how it is. I am thinking about this last year as a storm over the earth. Like the flood waters of old. As this stormy trial passes and the clouds part, we can see the hand of God using it for good. We can see the lessons we were meant to learn, and how we are utterly defenseless but for the grace of God in our lives.
"I am the Lord, the Maker of all things,
who stretches out the heavens,
who spreads out the earth by myself,
who foils the signs of false prophets
and makes fools of diviners,
who overthrows the learning of the wise
and turns it into nonsense,"
Isaiah 44:24-25
This painting and others are available for purchase on this website. You can see other paintings in this series here, or catch me at the May 28-29th Tivoli show in Kimballton Iowa!
